Che? Guevara as a saint, a sex symbol, and a selfless martyr. But their ideas about Che ? whose face adorns countless T-shirts and posters ? are based on the lies of Fidel Castro?s murderous dictatorship.Che?s hipster fans are classic ?useful idiots,? the name Stalin gave to foolish Westerners who parroted his lies about communism. And their numbers will only increase after a new biopic is released this fall, starring Benicio Del Toro.But as Humberto Fontova reveals in this myth-shattering book, Che was actually a bloodthirsty executioner, a military bumbler, a coward, and a hypocrite. In fact, Che can be called the godfather of modern terrorism.Fontova reveals:? How he longed to destroy New York City with nuclear missiles.? How he persecuted gays, blacks, and religious people.? How he loved material wealth and private luxuries, despite his image as an ascetic.Are Che fans like Angelina Jolie, Jesse Jackson, Carlos Santana, and Johnny Depp too ignorant to realize they?ve been duped? Or too anti-American to care? A real eye opener.

  • Race, Revolution, and Politics in Havana and Miami, 1959-1963
    UC Santa Barbara Journal of Transnational American Studies Title Owning the Revolution: Race, Revolution, and Politics from Havana to Miami, 1959–1963 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5sb9d392 Journal Journal of Transnational American Studies, 4(2) Author Benson, Devyn Spence Publication Date 2012 DOI 10.5070/T842015752 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Owning the Revolution: Race, Revolution, and Politics from Havana to Miami, 1959–1963 DEVYN SPENCE BENSON Looking back on the first few years after the Cuban revolution, Reynaldo Peñalver remembered the March, 1959 speech in which Fidel Castro first promised to end racial discrimination on the island. The sixty-eight year old Afro-Cuban recalled Castro’s announcement that Cubans could dance with whomever they wanted as long as they danced with the revolution. That, he remembered, “was the end of the honeymoon [period] and the true start of the exodus.”1 Peñalver was referring to the 215,000 Cubans who left the country before 1963, choosing to go into political exile in the United States rather than support the nationalist revolution of the Twenty-sixth of July Movement (M 26-7) and its allies.2 The reasons and motivations for the departure of these Cubans varied, and most scholars see their exit as a mixed reaction to economic and political events. Oral histories with black and mulato contemporaries, however, reveal that the exiles who left between 1959 and 1963 were overwhelmingly white and affluent Cubans who resented government plans to change society. As Peñalver’s recollections suggest, the revolutionary government’s measures to eliminate racial discrimination had a surprisingly potent impact for Cubans, regardless of skin color, whether they chose to stay on the island or leave for the United States.3 Cuba was still in the process of revolutionary change in the early 1960s when the first wave of exiles left the country.

Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Search this site:. There seems to be an anti-argentinian slant in some points. Che's bloodthirsty hatred is why Fontova considers him the godfather of modern terrorism. Not the most scholarly work ever written, but contains enough information and details to shoot massive holes through most of the popular memory of Che. Many of the men fighting in Batista's army were poor backward peasants who enlisted for the pay with no real loyalty to Batista, while many of those who were fighting against Batista were leftist nationals, liberals, Cuban nationalists, and anti-communists. Meanwhile they continue to not only glorify a murderer from four decades ago, but the regime he co-founded where people are still tortured for decades for speaking their minds-- if not put up against a wall so covered in gore that its original color is no longer discernable. Even to question passion is difficult. I loved reading a different perspective of Che. One may excuse Mr. Inhe released his 3rd book which is a departure from his earlier writings into a more political genre, Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant. Argentine hobo.
